PREFACE 


WHEN  I went  to  Italy,  now  almost  thirty  years  ago,  encour- 
aged by  a traveling-scholarship,  I carried  with  me  all  the 
buoyancy  and  self-confidence,  which  is  the  privilege  of  youth— 

“with  thousand  masts  saileth  forth  the  hoy." 

A government  studio,  a life  free  from  care,  amid  surroundings, 
every  inch  of  which  breathed  Art  and  Poetry — no  wonder,  all  of 
us,  while  toiling  along  the  path  of  life,  would  look  back  upon  these 
years  with  indescribable  delight. 

These  are  the  years  when  we  dare  anything,  and  1 was  no  excep- 
tion to  the  rule,  trying  my  hand  at  different  branches  of  Art  and  in 
different  mediums. 

These  are  the  years  responsible  for  our  most  ambitious  attempts, 
prompted  only  by  lofty  ideals. 

But  the  day  comes,  and  it  comes  soon,  when  we  recognize  the 
wide  gap  between  ambition,  which  would  carry  us  beyond  our 
dreams,  and  realization,  the  fruit  of  sincere  efforts.  Our  attitude 
toward  Art  and  Life  becomes  more  humble  and  if  today  I venture 
to  show  my  work,  I show  it  in  that  spirit. 

Many  of  us  share  these  feelings;  few  are  able  to  give  them  more 
appropriate  expression  than  in  the  following  lines,  which  are  so 
beautiful  and  true,  that  I may  call  them  the  guiding  thought  of  my 
life : 

“then  it  is  better  to  die,  struggling  for  the  Supreme, 
than  perish  in  the  dust  among  the  Commonplace."

'The  Call  from  'Beyond 

Listen,  through  the  woodland  valleys, 
Comes  a whisper  to  my  ear, 

Like  some  fairy-voices  calling, 

From  a wondrous  higher  sphere. 
Calling  softly,  ever  softly; 

Let  me  follow,  oh  my  heart, 

For  a tale  of  mystic  beauty, 

Why  this  world  is  but  a part. 

Let  me  follow  and  respond, 

To  “the  calling  from  beyond
